WORTHINGTON - The Worthington City Council approved a $900,000 loan Monday to help finance student housing at Minnesota West Community and Technical College’s Worthington campus.
Bluffstone LLC, a student housing developer from Davenport, Iowa, aims to build a 28-unit facility with 112 beds. The goal is to have the housing ready by the time students take their first classes in fall 2018.
Nearly $4 million of the $6.18 million project will come out of private financing from First American State Bank. Along with the city’s loan, $800,500 will come from a private equity cash deposit and $500,000 from a State of Minnesota grant.
